Über diesen Titel
Bloomsbury presents Saturday, 3pm written and read by Daniel Gray.
Overpaid players. Sunday lunchtime kick-offs. Absurd ticket prices. Non-black boots. Football’s menu of ills is long. Where has the joy gone? Why do we bother? Saturday, 3pm offers a glorious antidote. It is here to remind you that football can still sing to your heart.
Warm, heartfelt and witty, here are fifty short essays of prose poetry dedicated to what is good in the game. These are not wallowing nostalgia; they are things that remain sweet and right: seeing a ground from the train, brackets on vidiprinters, ball hitting bar, Jimmy Armfield’s voice, listening to the results in a traffic jam, football towns and autograph-hunters. This is fan culture at its finest, words to transport you somewhere else and identify with, words to hide away in a pub and luxuriate in.
Saturday, 3pm is a book of love letters to football and a clarion call, helping us find the romance in the game all over again.
Kritikerstimmen
"Each is a precision-tooled delight...even apparently obvious subjects are described with such lyricism that the everyday is routinely transformed into the sublime...here is a book that contains nothing but pure, unadulterated joy." (When Saturday Comes magazine)
"Delightfully written...countless little gems of recognition and satisfaction, many of them very funny...a lovely little thing." (The Daily Telegraph)
"Lovingly crafted prose-poetry...a wonderful antidote to the money-sodden excesses of the modern game." (Late Tackle magazine)
